A Life-Changing Safari Experience with Jocky Tours and Kush
Our safari adventure with Jocky Tours in Kenya was nothing short of breathtaking. Our guide, Kush, was the epitome of expertise and kindness, ensuring every moment was filled with wonder and excitement. Despite not staying in 5-star hotels, the staff's warmth and helpfulness made every aspect of our trip truly special.
The landscapes were stunning, and the wildlife encounters were unforgettable. Kush's deep knowledge allowed us to witness the majesty of lions, elephants, and giraffes up close. His dedication to ensuring we had the best experience possible was evident in every game drive. The campsites were well-maintained, offering a cozy retreat after each day's adventures.
Overall, Jocky Tours exceeded our expectations, providing an authentic and enriching safari experience that we will cherish forever. Kush's guidance was the highlight of our trip, and we highly recommend Jocky Tours for anyone seeking an unforgettable African adventure.

Incredible Trip - Can't Recommend Wayfairer Enough !!
Where to begin! It was a lifelong dream trip turned reality thanks to the amazing team at Wayfairer, specifically Dalia, Ellie and Issac (our guide in Tanzania). From the very beginning, ranging from recommendations, suggestions and handfuls of options matching desire and price, they were thorough, descriptive and extremely honest about what would best suit our needs. It was seamless from beginning to end! The itinerary laid out exactly what we were going to do and when, and it went off without a hitch! We never had to worry about our flights, cars to and from locations or our lodges. They handled EVERYTHING! It was truly the epitome of relaxation. Everyone we encountered took amazing care of us, the lodges, staff and towns in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Ole Pejeta, Kenya, Masai Mara, Kenya, Serengeti, Tanzania, Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania and Mahe, Seychelles were INCREDIBLE!!!!! The staff, the hospitality, the FOOD - pure magic. This trip would not have been possible without the ease and help from the team at Wayfairer. We can't wait to book another trip, and every one after that, with them!!!! THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

Professional and reliable
The tour was great and well organised, beginning with the pickup and the travel to the Jambo Mara safari logde.
The lodge was excellent, very good service and food, great rooms.
The best was the day safari with a lot of animal seeing. Lions, rhino, hippo, buffalo, Giraffe, Elephant, antilops, guepard… and a very good guide!

Exceeds expectations
We had one of the most memorable trips with Meektrails. Their communication was always prompt, no matter the time of day. The itinerary was exceptionally well-planned, ensuring that activities were never repetitive. There was always something exciting to look forward to each day. We were truly fortunate to have Peter as our guide. This man has incredible eyesight and is exceptional at spotting wildlife, ensuring that we didn’t miss a single thing. He was also incredibly attentive, accommodating to our needs, always punctual, highly knowledgeable, and a joy to travel with. Would totally recommend anyone that is coming to Kenya to book with Meektrails, and ask for Peter!

Our Safari with Lendimi African Safaris Exceeded All Expectations!
It is hard to find the words to describe the amazing safari adventure that my two friends and I enjoyed for 13 wonderful days in Tanzania. The experience exceeded my expectations in every way, starting with our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Emanuel. He made it his mission to ensure that we had the best time ever & he succeeded. Emi went above and beyond in every way, from positioning us in the best spots for observing wildlife, to dealing with an unforeseen immigration issue. We saw every wild animal that we were hoping to see, and many that I hadn't known existed. Emi was well versed in animal behavior and sighting them from afar, then taking us very close. We saw the spectacular Serengeti from above in a hot air balloon one morning. Our 8 passenger Land Cruiser with an openable lid was our daily vehicle for observing wildlife, including the great migration of wildebeests and zebras. We saw prides of lions, and lions on their honeymoon, leopards in trees, elephants curious enough to put our car's ariel into its mouth and another elephant showing up at our patio. Our accommodations and meals were fabulous & picnicking on the Serengeti was amazing. Emi set up a table & tablecloth, chairs & boxed lunches for us so we could spend the whole day out on safari instead of having to go back to a hotel to eat. In addition to seeing African animals, our trip included cultural days where we were blessed to meet the people of several different tribes & get a glimpse into their lives. I highly recommend Lendimi Safaris if you are thinking about making your dream of an African safari come true. It was a once in a lifetime, incredible trip!

George was THE BEST GUIDE I could have imagined for this trip.
I was put in touch with KiliHike owner, Steve, by a friend here in the States. He was incredibly warm and friendly from the start. I told him the time frame we wanted to be in Tanzania, and I provided him with a list of things my travel pal and I wanted to see and do. He put together a wonderful itinerary for us. Our safari+ guide, George, was THE MOST INCREDIBLE GUIDE! Eyes of a hawk (I swear he could see the tuft of a lion's ear peeking above the grasses from a mile away) and so knowledgeable about all the places we went, all the wildlife (even the birds), the Masai, the country, and its history. It became our light-hearted goal to try to stump him (we only did once... a flower he couldn't name). Aside from his knowledge, he was very good natured, and good humored, and he was an excellent driver, which really matters on those roads! Can't recommend this team enough!

Memories to last a lifetime!
Ecovic Tours went above and beyond to provide the most amazing 14 day safari for my fiancé and me! Truly, every day brought something new and spectacular. We talked to other travelers who would bemoan not seeing the leopards, we saw two! We heard people say that the tree climbing lions had left the Ishasha sector, but we saw them and cubs! Frank was our friend and guide for the 14 days and he always found what we were looking for, I am so grateful we were with him! Victor was very helpful in setting everything up and providing clear communication. He was very patient with us, as we sorted out a payment issue upon arrival. And for anyone unsure about the best way to wire funds, I’ve learned that the Wise app is best for transferring money from the US to Stanbic Bank, after my bank wouldn’t wire, and other apps charged exorbitantly high fees or used poor exchange rates. Victor and Frank also worked together to get our delayed luggage delivered to us in rapid order! I couldn’t believe how smoothly they make everything work. It was the trip of a lifetime, and though I’m home now, I still relive the moments, and am forever grateful for the experiences provided by Ecovic Tours!

Once in a lifetime trip with a one of a kind company that made the experience the most amazing ever
Hands down the best experience with could have possibly had. It started with phenomenal communication through email roughly 15 months prior to our trip which was to be a safari in Tanzania for 9 days followed by 3 days on the island of Zanxibar. This was for my 72-year-old father is at his his dream vacation and my twin brother and I went with him. Both Robert and Silas in the office were incredible in regards to listening to what we wanted out of the trip and scheduling exactly that. They got back to us within 24 hours during the week and even within that amount of time on weekends most times. They were open, honest and upfront about the entire process. They work with us diligently to make a trip to the locations that we wanted to see as well as sitting up accommodations in places that we want to stay including tent camps and other facilities. When plans would change on our part they were very gracious and accommodating to all of our changes. They help answer all questions and set up a seamless arrival into Tanzania. We were met by the representative, Victor, who end up being our tour guide for the 9 days in Tanzania. We could not have had a better tour guide as Victor was very knowledgeable, extremely nice, had a great sense of humor and new all of the locations of fine the most animals. We were lucky enough to see the big 5 including 3 Leopard's and a baby Leopard. We also saw all of the other animals that we could have possibly imagine as well as crocodile, lines and a honeymoon meeting.
All of the meals that we had at the hotels and picnic lunches on the safari were amazing.
When we were done with the safari and were being taken to the Arusha airport to be flown to Zanzibar we were met by Robert, the owner, and Silas from the office to follow-up with us as well as make sure that we have made it through airport security and had everything planned for the next like of a trip.
When we arrivedin Zanzibar we were met by a representative as well. The tembo house in Stone town as well as dream of Zanzibar was set up for us this places to stay and were amazing. We had a guided tour of Stone town which was incredible. We then changed our plans to just hang out on the beach for a day and a half which they accommodated well for us. We then went on a spice to her that they set up last-minute as well for us prior to flying home which was again amazing.
Hands down I would recommend this company to anyone. The price was very reasonable, the accommodations for incredible, our guide Victor was the best you could possibly have and made the trip even more memorable, the office staff and owner were incredible to work with and I honestly have nothing negative to see about our trip at all.
Thank you
Dear Robert, Silas and Victor at RO Scavenger safaris
